I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I actually really liked these cookies. The orange and date flavors really balance out the cranberries.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my liking. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time.

I found these cookies to be a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover cranberries and oranges. I always have some on hand during the holidays, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.
